Pressure of present problems lead to artificial devotion on Lord ....

The only spontaneous devotion towards God (which of course is not real since the devotion is only means) is the pressure of present problems. The artificial devotion shoots up spontaneously because God is only the final means for crossing such present difficulties. There is no need of any message or force for the devotee to maintain the devotion during the tenure of the present problems. But once the problem is solved and peace and happiness are attained, the human being forgets God completely after a very short time. This ungratefulness towards God is mainly based on the effect of ego because there is no possibility of keeping the self in the place of God in solving such problems.

If there is even a trace of possibility of keeping self in the place of God, the fellow will be constantly remembering that incident till his date of death because it projects the self praise. You may say that the only alternative is to continue the problems without end. In fact Kunti asked the Lord for such a boon.

She told that since difficulties alone can maintain the devotion alive in the case of human beings, she asked the Lord for continuous difficulties. But this is not possible because continuous difficulties also bore the soul and the attitude of God as the divine father is to make the souls happy and not to bore.
